SPRINKLING OR SPRAYING PIPE.

EPECIFICATION forming part: of LettersPatent No. 388,930, datedSeptember 4, 1888.

To ail? whom it may concern.-

Re i is known that I, ALBERT F. Tl-IAYER, of Maple Hill, in the countyof XVabaunsee, in the State of Kansas, have invented a new and usefulImprovement in sprinkling or Spraying Pipes, otwhichthe following isaspecification.

This invention consists of a pipe or tube provided with a longitudinalindentation or groove, the opposite sides of which are supplied withopposite series of perforations, through which water or other liquidsubstance is forced and by this means converted into spray. It is usefulin sprinkling flowers, gardens, lawns, washing windows, urinals, 850.,and for various purposes where saturation by means of sprinkling orspraying is desired or the supply of water or other liquid in the formof spray is advantageous.

In the accompanying drawings, in which similar letters of referenceindicate like parts, Figure l is a view in perspective of a pipe or tubeembodying my invent-ion, such as would be applicable to the end of agarden-hose, for example. Fig. 2 is a transverse section of the same.Fig. 3 is a transverse section of a pipe which is rectangular insection. Fig. 4 is a transverse section of a round pipe with an indontation or groove of curved shape.

In Figs. 1 and 2, A represents a long pipe adapted at A. to be screwedto ahose, B, or other means of connection with the source of supply ofwater or other liquid. The outer end,A, is closed. cisalongitudinalV-shaped groove or indentation in whose opposite sides are madeperforations a, each of which is ex actly opposite a perforation on theopposite side ofthe groove. As the water is forced into the pipe, itrushes out through the perforations a, and the jets from each pair meetand are converted into line spray projecting a con siderable distancefrom the pipe, the length of opposite jets to impinge against and minglewith each other in order to form the desired spray.

I am aware that atomizcrs employ meanssuch as small nozzles placed atproper angles with each other-for converting liquids into fine spray. Ido not claim, therefore, anything which is covered by such devices.

My device is a long tube having opposite series of perforations in alongitudinal indenta tion or groove, through which the liquid is forcedand a large spray-cloud produced. I propose to use any desired liquidand to apply the invention to any stationary or movable device where theresult produced will be of service.

Having thus fully described my invention, What I claim, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-

The herein-described sprinkling or spraying device, consisting,essentially, ot'a pipe or tube provided with an indentation or groovewhose opposite sides are each provided with a series of perforations,each perforation inone series being opposite a corresponding perforationin the other series, whereby the jets of water issuing from each pair ofperforations impinge against and mingle with each other, substantiallyas and for the purpose set forth.

ALBERT F. THAYER.
